Mauritius

So after all the planning, we're into rehearsals for Mauritius. A great play, and a really great group of people to work with.

After playing with a set model made out of cardstock and foamboard, here's what happened when I put up the flats and platforms -

And then after a day spent with 10 or 11 different paints and a couple of priceless assistants (thanks Ryan and Pix), it starts to look like a real place -

Add more furniture and molding and then add the actors. Voila! And adding the actors is what it's all about. Probably 3 or 4 more days to finish the set, but two and a half weeks of fun with these people. And then we get to invite everyone to come to see what we've done. It's going to be an exciting show, and we hope to keep everyone on the edges of their respective seats.

The two most valuable postage stamps in the world are the one penny and two penny stamps from the island of Mauritius. (That rhymes with suspicious, malicious and vicious, by the way.) And you thought stamp collecting was a quiet, safe and relaxing pastime? We'll change your perspective on that.

More to come . . .
